This charming folk costume doll is made by the Polish cooperative Spółdzielnia Pracy, which means "labor cooperative". The dolls were produced in the mid-20th century, mainly in the 1960s and 1970s, and were often sold as souvenirs or representatives of Polish folk culture.
The doll is usually made of hard plastic or celluloid-like material and is dressed in hand-sewn, colorful costumes representing different regions of Poland - such as Kraków, Łowicz or Podhale. The costumes are richly decorated with embroidery, lace, aprons and sometimes small beads or ribbons, giving the doll a genuine and authentic look.
Dolls from Spółdzielnia Pracy have become sought-after collectors' items, especially if they are in good condition with original clothes and markings remaining. They are not only decorative but also cultural-historical miniatures of Polish craft tradition.
